This book reports on the ecological engineering of granular sludge processes for a high-rate removal of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus nutrients in compact wastewater treatment plants. It provides novel insights into microorganisms and metabolisms in wastewater microbiomes and the use of microbial ecology principles to manage wastewater treatment processes. It covers a very comprehensive and inter-disciplinary research of systems microbiology and environmental biotechnology. From the initial economic assessment of the aerobic granular sludge technology, concepts of microbiome science and...

This book delves into the critical intersection of waste management, bioenergy production, and the pursuit of a sustainable global future through the process of valorization. Waste valorization is the process of reusing, recycling, or composting waste materials and converting them into more useful products, including materials, chemicals, fuels, or other sources of energy. The urgent environmental issues surrounding the increasing accumulation of solid waste and the necessity to shift towards cleaner energy sources have led to a thorough investigation into the conversion of solid waste...

This book presents peer-reviewed papers of the 2022 10th International Conference on Environment Pollution and Prevention (ICEPP 2022), which was held in Sydney, Australia, during December 16–18, 2022. With the worldwide increase in industrialization and movement of people toward larger cities, there has been a progressive increase in environmental pollution. The issues surrounding air, water, soil, and land pollution are now considered of global concern. Minimization of pollution involves the repeated reuse of products, reduction in waste generation, and processing and recycling of...
